Meredith - I really believe your husband is doing so well in his career at least in part because of the effort you put in to things like this. I'm sure your husband is fabulous at his job, but you're making a very real contribution and people take that into account even if they don't realize they're doing it. Also the fact that you got out of the house at this stage in the game is pretty impressive!

You're always inspiring. I have to tell you that a few months ago, after looking at all the pretty things you do, I made a small change in my kitchen cabinets. I used to store a box of Splenda packets right above my kettle to make sweetening my morning tea easy. I dumped the ugly box and started keeping the little packets in a crystal sugar dish that had been doing nothing up to that point. That small change was completely inspired by your lovely posts!
